Head knocks happen ㋛
Whether it’s your own board or someone else’s in a crowded lineup, and it only takes one knock to be hit with an emergency room visit and be out of the water for weeks!
SurfShell gives you an added layer of protection, so you can surf with confidence and stay in the water longer. Built with the same high-quality materials as a full helmet, but in a lightweight, low-profile design, it’s the perfect balance between wearing nothing and going full helmet.
Made for ocean lovers who want to feel safer, stay comfortable, and enjoy the waves without restriction, SurfShell is the surf hat you’ll forget you’re even wearing ... until it saves your head.

Intended for light or busy surf conditions to help protect from bumps and gashes. Not intended for use in extreme surf or big wave conditions.
For best performance, ensure the sweatband is fitted snugly over the shell and toggle tightened appropriately.
Always wear your SurfShell properly and use at your own risk. Surf Shell Limited cannot be held liable for any incident that arises while wearing this product. It cannot be guaranteed it will protect the wearer in ever instance due to the extreme and unpredictable nature of surfing.

Honestly I am disappointed. The
"Honestly I am disappointed. The shell hardly fits into the hat, and both the hat at the shell are quite poor quality. There is no way for the shell to stay put in the hat. I think it was a very overpriced item for what it is."

"I love it but it's too small. My daughter will wear it when she starts surfing. I have a small head so I ordered child/small adult. My fault. I'll be ordering the correct size when pink is in stock!!!!!!"

I’ve tried so many surf
"I’ve tried so many surf hats. This is the first one that’s been right for me. Just the right amount of brim to protect me from the sun without blocking my peripheral vision with the bonus of helmet style protection while still looking cute. I’ve been raving about it to all my surf buddies and they’re jumping on the bandwagon too 🙂"
